Working with Mattie changed my life in ways that words can’t even describe. I was always a heavy set kid with dreams of fitting in and feeling confident in my own skin. I had dreamt of competing in a bodybuilding show ever since I was 12 years old and decided to hire Mattie as a coach in January 2019. 
In just 16 weeks I had dropped over 55 pounds, achieved my dreams of falling into single digit body-fat percentage, and won my class at The NPC West Coast Classic. Mattie opened my eyes to an entirely new understanding of bodybuilding with his extensive knowledge of nutrition and training regimens, while also pushing me through physical and mental doubts during my prep, which ultimately led to a victory in many different regards.
Mattie was there for me every step of the way, helping me regain motivation in times I fell short of my own expectations. He not only got me in the best shape of my life, but more importantly helped me grow into the best version of myself mentally, physically and spiritually. 

Mattie is an amazing coach! He is knowledgeable, caring and understanding. He set me up with a personalized online/virtual program, but it felt like I had a personal trainer with me all the time. When I started, I felt discouraged and frustrated with my body and weight. I was also very self-conscious. Mattie made me feel comfortable with my goals and made them realistic and attainable. 
Before getting started, Mattie made sure that he asked me questions about my current fitness level and nutrition habits and made sure he understood my goals. We made small daily goals, as well as weekly goals. All of the little wins added up and I started to feel more confident with my body and overall health.
I checked in with Mattie weekly and we updated and modified my goals. He was very good about fielding my questions or concerns. Mattie really listened to me and tailored meal plans and fitness routines that were appropriate and achievable for where I was at on my fitness/health journey. He always offered and/suggested modifications when needed. I am so thankful for Matt and all he did to help me meet my fitness and health goals. 

Mattie helped my then 20 year old son rehabilitate from a serious lower back injury.  He suffered from an L5S1 disk herniation that led to severe pain and immobility.
My son could not bend over and touch his toes.  Mattie patiently worked with him while providing a positive and encouraging training environment and used his knowledge of the human body to formulate a recovery plan.
With Mattie’s help my son made a full recovery and exceeded his pre-injury strength and flexibility metrics.  Starting off, he could not complete basic mobility movements. By the end of his 20 week program he was deadlifting twice his body weight which is both amazing and unheard of considering his prior condition.  He now plays on the hockey team for Long Beach State and is stronger than ever.
Mattie was key in helping my son reach his goals.  I would highly recommend him for your personal training and coaching needs.
